The Pugilists Are Giving the Flour

Rest.
Probable Match Between Cardiff and

Gossip About the League, and the
Minneapolis Nine in Par
ticular.

Minneapolis is getting something of rest
from the puglistic talk. that threatened
during the recent visit of Sullivan. to de
tract public attention from the ice carnival
and Legislature. Frank Glover, the Illinois
heavyweight, has been making some buster
through the newspapers about desiring to
meet Cardiff. While he has doubtless I'M
proved within the last two years, there is no
reason for the presumption that he can do
Cardiff with the ease he predicts. Cardiff
and he appeared in Minneapolis
hrst about three years ago,
when they accompanied Capt Dalton.
Cardiff made decidedly the best impression
at the exhibition which they gave. and was
picked out as the llkeliest man by all odds.
Since then Glover has made a good showing
with Burke, and has challenged Paddy
Ryan. There is nothing in either accom-
pliShment to especially change public opin-
ion as to his ability. Cardiff is now in
Chicago on a visit. and match between
the men may result after Cardiff's meeting
with Sullivan.
Speaking of Sullivan, when the match
takes place Cardiff should see that he has
representatives at the box office. 1t is
pretty well understood that he only re-
ceived $1,000 as % per cent of the net re-
ceiptS. There is no doubt that he was
fairly entitled to double that amount but
Sheedy's management" meant 80 per
cent. for himself.

Tommy Warren has been written that.
while no guarantee will be made the
receipts of a match between himself and
Danforth, of Minneapolis, would in all
probability exceed 81, These bantams
gave by all odds the best exhibition of
in fInir tot, fa1, I,
Washington rink last fall that has ever been
witnessed III the Northwest. The result
was draw-Danforth had made the best
showing up to the seventh round. when
Warren began to do his fighting. At the
close Wauen=S friends claimed he was in
much the best condition and would certainly
have won if the match had been allowed to
go to finish. A meeting now, to consist
of a number of rounds sufficient to settle
the question Of superiority, would undoubt-
eddy draw large patronage. Both Warren
and Danforth are in New York. where
they have been jacketing themselves through
the newspapers without result. Danforth
claims he cannot get fair play if the match
is there, but is willing to come TO Mime
apols.
